PrintFirst half thoughts
WTF was up with that first series? We're facing into a 30 mph wind and we come out throwing on the first three plays? Clark fumbles and almost coughs up a touchdown. We got lucky, but all we did was delay Shonn Greene from scoring three plays later.
The decision to switch Rich Ohrnberger and Wisniewski is a colossal blunder. Ohrnberger is getting owned by Mitch King. He's winning the battle in the running game, but can't pass defend to save his life.
After that first series Joe must have turned to Jay and said, "Ok kid. Galen is going to call the plays from now on." Penn State has been running the ball with dominating success. The yardage and time of possession are heavily in our favor.
Unfortunately the redzone offense has sputtered twice. Poor execution killed one drive and a penalty killed the other.
The Iowa defense has to be getting tired. We have to just keep running the ball and wearing them down. I'm looking for Royster, Green, or Williams to break a big play or two in the second half.

Bring it
we are owning them on Time of Possession and yards. It’s all a matter of time until this game is 35-7
Don't forget
They get the ball to start the 2nd half.

Flutie was starting to grow on me
He was so awkward when he started a couple years ago, he’s gotten better. Craig James’ voice just irritates me. Not ath much ath Lou Holthz, though
Right
I hope when we win by 20 points somebody reminds all the talking heads the line was seven

I Think
Galen is the one who decides whether it is a pass or run, so the 3 passes to start instead of running are his fault.
Iowa is getting tired, they weren't getting the same pass rush in the second quarter
Our play selection for running the ball has been great, how many different looks did we use. That is one way to neutralize an aggressive defense when you cannot pass. I say good play calling after the first three and ouch.
I don't know, Mello Yello is pretty awful. What's the worst that could happen?
that wasn't a bad pass
just fantastic SEC defense…or not.

We just need to win
If we do, we’ll be #2 in the bcs poll. Either bama or tech’s going to lose. Maybe both.
I wouldn't trust old rooster me neither.
Yeah
Ya gotta love that. Guy makes a move to the NFL, and it doesn’t pan out. THEN he comes back to college, and it just so happens to be at a rival school. So let’s hate on him, screw the fact he brought ’em a championship!!
SEC fans are so darn cute.

on gameday saban said
look, i made a professional decision to go pro and it was a bad one. LSU fans need to get over it.,,,,
You can say
as many reasonable things as you’d like. Doesn’t matter. We’ve got a sizable portion of our fan base that is obsessed with the suffering of Pryor. He’s 18. Saban ‘is a MAN!’
Saban was was LSU’s head coach. Now he coaches a rival. There’s no amount reasonableness that will assuage that wound.
Burn the witch.
LSU's driving going into the half here...
they could be up at home…LSU can definitely win.
I wouldn't trust old rooster me neither.
LSU sucks
They’ve given up 50+ in two separate games so far this year. And yet ’Bama is only tied with them nearing halftime.
Make no mistake about it, the SEC is an average conference at best this year.

…is that I thought that this team was mentally tougher than this. I thought that this team had the mental toughness to go 13-0. It was mistakes that killed us today – pure and simple – the mistakes we haven’t made all year.
oh well
We lost that game fair and square, we had the opportunity to win and didn’t congrats to Iowa.

Unacceptable
I don’t accept this. We lost when favored, when all we needed to do was roll the middle and the bottom of the conference to get to the championship. A Rose Bowl still smells like bullshit by any other name.
Luring recruits with my new "Posting HD" scheme since '08.
But...
A loss to an Iowa team that should have lost by 67 takes off the feel-good smile. At this point, it’s more like backing into the playoffs.
One loss is "backing in"?
Now, if we struggle with Indiana and MSU, then I can see your point. Today was a lapse on multiple levels, and in college football, one game of that is all it takes for your championship dreams to be over.
What makes you think...
given that you’ve played only one team with any degree of muscle, that you should have beaten the Hawks by 67? This was NOT a trap game…it was an exceptionally tough team that batters people down with Green and waits for mistakes with a patient defense. In other words, they do what the Big 10’s best used to do on a regular basis.
That said, the Nitts are a good team. Scary good. Florida good? No. Alabama good? No. But good enough to smack USC in the mouth? Yes. So, play for that and kick their pansy asses.

Well.
The pass interference call was questionable, as was the no call offensive holding on that same play.
But, the loss falls on the offensive playcalling. On the set at the Iowa 12, three atrocious plays, topped off with a terrible deep double-coverage throw.
In addition, this was a Philadeplhia Eagles loss. Red zone field goals or no scores. You don’t win with field goals.
Congratulations to Jay and Galen for allowing Ferentz to keep his job.
i'm glad someone else saw that

A lot of players no showed today. No pass rush. Really didnt protect well for Clarke. Hard to explain. Iowa deserved it.

am fucking heartbroken…. we can’t blame the refs this time… we got beat… they came out and beat us, and i want to cry… seriously…
Zac @ http://erieisforlovers.wordpress.com
How can anyone blame the refs?
Red zone ineptitude is the name of the game. When you let a team hang around, this is the shit that can happen.
Agreed
I said it above. You don’t win with FGs. Well, you can, as we saw, but you don’t when you repeatedly put 3’s, and not 7’s, on the board.
Did Andy Reid wire offensive calls to Galen and Jay? Did Jay regress from offensive genius to retarded-son-of JoePa? Perhaps a combination of the lot.
Whatever, though. Let’s hang 70 on Indiana, 60 on Michigan State, and then anally violate Pete Carroll with a football.
The no call on the hold was
awful, and the PI was questionable. I’m not fully blaming the refs for the defense collapsing, but they didn’t help us one bit. Remember ’02 with Iowa and the refs….
this was the one thing that i had going for me...
and now its gone… i am so upset… they lost to an inferior team on defense today because they lost their composure
Zac @ http://erieisforlovers.wordpress.com
There with you, brother
This has been a bad year for me and I was praying for us to get to the MNC but it is not to be. Now the only good thing is we can still have to Rose Bowl but I have to pray Oregon State wins out so we don’t have to face a USC team I know is pretty damn good.

The play of the game
Clark badly overthrows a wide open receiver right into the hands of the Iowa safety. You can blame the wind but I think we all know Clark overthrows his receivers. I think its because he is way too excitable. He needs to learn to calm his ass down.
This loss comes down to bad play-calling and even worse execution.
Congrats to Iowa. They won this one outright.

Psychology
The ladyfriend is a psychology professor at a midstate college. I actually just had to ask her if my saying, “it’s okay, Penn State wasn’t that great anyway” was bargaining or denial.
I’m told it is cognitive dissonance.

Time for Joe Pa to go
Im so tired of being let down year after year by the lions and the coaching staff! Im sick to my stomach right now! I saw no emotion from the players and/or the coaching staff! Where the hell was the leadership when Iowa was driving with 2 minutes to go? where was the passion? where was the fire and intensity? But alas I digress…… there is something to be said for " You lead by example" I guess I should not be surprised that I saw no emotion since it starts and ends with Joe Pa.!!!!!!

Iowa
They’re a good team. They lost 4 games by 12 points. Should we have beaten them? Yes. We didn’t, and that sucks. It is what it is.
Going undefeated is tough to do. No one did it last year. But we can still get to a BCS game, which is something that only 10 teams in the country can say. I’ll take it, and ya know what? If this is JoePa’s last year, congrats to him on his success.

9-1 Mediocrity?
Wow you have some truly high standards. I consider a 9-1 start pretty damn impressive. So we lost, finish 11-1 like 05 still better than 10-2 tOSU.
That's fine
Complain about the execution. Complain about the officiating. Complain about the play calling. Heck, complain about not having heaters on the sideline. But to join AFTER the game just to say “Joe Must Go” is assinine and shows very little class or appreciation for what the man has done. It’s because he’s done so well this year that we all feel so crappy right now. Think about that.

The win was there...
You can’t snap the ball with 10 seconds on the play clock.
You can’t stop smashing the ball up the middle.
You can’t pass when a simple run burns 40+ seconds and sets up at worse a punt.
The game was won. Penn State found a way to lose on the road to a team they were better than.

But the weirdest thing about the ’05 Mich deal was that right after it happened I was so stunned yet I knew that I had just witnessed an all time classic so I guessed that UT fans would feel that same way last week. Shocked… yet, you kinda felt at least the game was so epic it took on a different feel and it helped cushion the blow a bit.
That is also why today sucked more than ’05… no last second stuff.. just an underwhelming effort giving us an equally unpalatable taste in our mouths having witnessed that mailed in effort

This is a bad bad loss, out coached, no clutch play. Lets hope this season doesn’t end like ’99 and lets hope i see a National Championship in my life time.
Hurts so much.
During my time here in Happy Valley, I have seen my team come so close only to fall short. Feels like the story of my life at this point. I get tired of it. Michigan and now Iowa.

People predicting big wins
Y’all jinxed us. I said before the game we’d have trouble winning big, even if we scored early. And if we didn’t put up a few TD lead, we’d be in a tough battle to the very end. That’s how it played out.
The worst part is that PSU was not outplayed overall. But Iowa dominated the red zone at both ends of the field. PSU had no killer instinct today and played like an average team. You can’t go undefeated without winning those vital red zone battles. The blown coverage on the late Iowa TD was pretty indicative of the team’s performance.
The slight upside is that we won’t have to worry about the media working out a way for PSU to be left out of the title. Losing on the field is much less painful than being jobbed by the polls.

Fuck it, we deserved to lose. Clark was not sharp, at least 6 dropped balls, O-line was mostly owned. Truth is, we needed the turnovers to stay competitive! Try checking the score with 10 less points.
What was Andrew Quarless doing today?
How does the D secondary stand up against a real passing attack? I’m thinking brutal.
Fuck Quarless. I hate swearing and blaming one player, but seriously fuck Quarless. Our whole team played shitty, but that person should be the last one to play shitty considering he should’ve been kicked off the team TWICE. And I’m not just talking about the 2 drops, I’m talking about all those missed blocks and his head not being in the game at all. Damn, I’ll take a scholarship to drop passes and miss blocks
Too "cute" playcalling
The reverses worked great the first 12 times we ran them, but pound the ball. That’s what we’ve been doing all year, and guess what, we were undefeated! Don’t mess with success. Royster ran pretty well today, I don’t care what his stats say, against Iowa’s D he ran well

Please stop feeling sorry for yourselves
Penn State will go on to play significant games yet this season. We talk about fighting and being in battles, but let’s remember this is just a game on a field where in the end, everyone goes home safe. The real battles are being fought by others who unselfishly put themselves in harms way to allow us to feel sorry for ourselves about, what is in relative terms, a meaningless loss on a field in Iowa. Let’s keep things in perspective. Let’s remember those who are or will be in battles, and let’s remember those who keep this dear institution in their hearts when they do. ’Night all.
